Local insight
The Inner City splits almost evenly between two kinds of customer. Of 1,349 visits with a recorded schedule, 38% were one-offs and 37% were every 2 weeks, with weekly and every-4-weeks bookings making up the rest. The homes were often compact: 49% of our cleans here were for 2-bedroom homes. Port Melbourne (182 cleans), South Yarra (150) and South Melbourne (119) led the region's 29 directory suburbs. Renting turns over quickly across the area, with 35,389 new lettings recorded from Oct 2024 to Sep 2025 in the 24 Homes Victoria areas covering it. Customers have rated us 4.6 out of 5 across 371 ratings, and thorough, detailed work is what comments mention most.

Themes from positive customer feedback.
These figures add up the published suburbs in the Inner City area. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 14 October 2026.
Customer feedback is the rating a customer gave after a clean: each counts once, low scores included. Earlier feedback used “bad”, “OK” or “good”; those count as 2, 3 and 5 stars, the same equivalents we have always used. Comments quoted for Inner City are published comments from customers who rated the clean 4 or 5 stars. The average includes every rating.
Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Melbourne listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,887 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 781 reviews on our 6 Google listings.
